Its odd, but when I came here, I was interested in hognose behavior, not shoebox behavior. And I am. I also mentioned I am working in the field in that area as well.

It was odd, but only a couple admitted to keeping hogs with anything natural to them. Thanks for those that did.

What makes Nasty an idiot is, In his tiny mind, that meant that I have to keep them only naturally and in no other way. I never mentioned or stated I was going to do that. Never. In fact the opposite. I said I will test many approaches to keeping them, and I have, as seen here.

What makes him stupid is, He and a few others here would ask me, how I think or approach a Subject.(any subject) I am honest and I would offer my opinion. Nasty and friends would take my opinion , or way of thinking about something and twist it, then take that as I demand all to think or do the same. Which is passed stupid, its insane. I could give a flying dog crap what others do, that is, unless they are doing something really well and it interests me.

In effect, what pea's him/them off is, I am not part of their Borg(intertwined commun) I do not stand for their way of thinking. I don't. I posted right off, I am interested in animal stuff, not how streamlined humans can make keeping herp. And in particular, how they can take everything natural away from the animals and somehow make it work. We all already understand, we can indeed keep hognose in a little box and have them reproduce.

My only opposition to shoebox keeping is, its so very hard to learn anything about the animals. So that requires a "caresheet"/recipe to make them work. Which is mindless fun. You do not have to know anything about the animals to keep and breed them, just follow instructions. I like thinking, so I will ALSO keep animals in cages that teach and entertain me.
